The west has tasted modernity the moat along with Japan and both are exhausted spiritually by it.

The collapse in birth rates, rise of NEETs and rampant drug abuse and suicide are symptoms of it. People are tired of the soul crushing fast life.

They subconsciously long for a quaint rural life with family, community and tradition.

Just the constant noise and lack of silence in a city is enough to gribd down someone's nerves. Add in visual overstimulation, overwork and atomization, and u have recipe for mental breakdown over time.

I'm actually surprised that there aren't more mass shootings, bombings and weird religious cults and revolutionary terrorism.

I guess the medication and estrogen rich food pacifies people.
